Enabling Efficiency, Speed & Accuracy
We build AI systems for teams that need search across company data, workflow automation across tools, or AI features inside products and internal software.
Get specific answers to common technical, security, and process questions about developing and deploying AI for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) missions.
For a standard AI-powered object detection and tracking system on persistent surveillance feeds (WAMI/FMV), deployment typically takes 6-10 weeks. This includes 2-3 weeks for environment setup and data pipeline integration, 3-4 weeks for model fine-tuning and validation on your operational data, and 1-2 weeks for hardening and secure deployment to your specified environment (cloud, on-premise, or edge). Complex multi-sensor fusion or autonomous ISR agent systems can extend to 14-20 weeks.
